3 TEAMS at the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge What is the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge? The Lewes Polar Bear Plunge is Special Olympics Delaware s largest event. It is held annually on the first Sunday in February in Rehoboth Beach and raises funds that fuel year-round sports programs for more than 4,000 Special Olympics athletes throughout the state. Special Olympics is the world s largest movement dedicated to promoting respect, acceptance, inclusion and human dignity for people with intellectual disabilities. GO FOR THE COLD! This isn t just a plunge, it s a jump for joy. Proceeds from the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge benefit the athletes of Special Olympics Delaware, so on February 5, the coldest moment of your life will support the biggest moment of theirs. The crowd will be huge, the cause great, and the water freezing. But we don t do it because it s easy... we do it to make a difference. Why form a team? Teams are a great way to create maximum impact at the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge - while having fun together! The Plunge event is a great team-building exercise for any group, business or organization. Why not issue a corporate challenge and see who can recruit the most Polar Bears? Or why not gather a group of friends and colleagues to take the plunge together and make a personal statement with fun costumes? Anyone with a little courage, a warm heart and a desire to support a worthy cause is welcome to join your team. Teams will also compete for awards - so start recruiting for a chance to win a trophy for Most Bears Recruited or Most Funds Raised. Each individual is asked to raise a minimum of $75 to participate as a Polar Bear. Each participant who reaches the minimum donation receives official Polar Bear swag (a Plunge hoodie sweatshirt) and entry to the after-plunge party. Additional pledges above $75 will entitle you to some cool incentives, so keep collecting pledges and let your sponsors know that you re freezin for a reason! 3
4 GETTING STARTED Create a Polar Bear Plunge Team The saying goes that friends don t let friends plunge alone. Creating a Plunge Team multiplies the fun... so invite your circle of friends, family, co-workers, colleagues and neighbors to join you! The exhiliration of the Plunge and the excitement of doing it together as a team serves as an exceptional way for your group to make a significant impact in raising greater awareness for our Special Olympics athletes. Just think about how much fun it will be to be on the beach with your team... making a difference together. ** If you are a team captain and would like to create a new team, contact us so we can help you: Corinne Plummer (cplummer@udel.edu or ) TIPS FOR THE TEAM CAPTAIN Register yourself as a Polar Bear by going to and click REGISTER. When you register, click on the FORM A TEAM option. Be prepared to name your team. If you have any difficulties with forming a team, contact Special Olympics Delaware at: cplummer@udel.edu or Once your team is formed, start to recruit Polar Bears! Invite your friends, family, co-workers, colleagues and neighbors to join you for a fun day in support of Special Olympics Delaware athletes. Ask your teammates to register individually as Polar Bears by going online to Your team members can search for the team name and Join the Team. Communicate with your team regularly to make sure they re motivated. Hang posters and distribute take-one cards anywhere you can to recruit new Polar Bears to join you. Think of fun costumes, or cool spiritwear that your team can wear on Plunge day. Stand out among the thousands of Polar Bears. Provide team members with copies of fundraising ideas (provided in this toolkit). Make sure that each team member stays on track to raise their fundraising minimum of $75 per individual by Plunge day. 4

On February 5, 2017, I have committed to grin and bear it for the athletes of Special Olympics Delaware by taking a chilly dip alongside hundreds of other warm-hearted people at Rehoboth Beach. I know you re probably getting cold just thinking about it! But the cold that I will feel is temporary the positive impact this will have on the lives of thousands of individuals with intellectual disabilities will last a lifetime. I have set a personal fundraising goal of $, and I need your help to reach it! I m not asking you to take the Plunge alongside me, but instead, I am asking if you will make a donation to Special Olympics Delaware to sponsor my 2017 Plunge. Any amount would be appreciated because it all goes to a wonderful cause! (And if you would like to plunge with me, I welcome you to join in the fun!) In order to support my Plunge, please make your check payable to Special Olympics Delaware and I will collect your pledge donation. If you want to learn more about this spectacular winter event, visit to find out all the chilly details. Think warm thoughts for me as February 5 approaches.
